FIRST ONE NAMED

Trump’s Name Looms Large in DOJ’s Epstein Memo

Donald Trump was name-dropped alongside Harvey Weinstein, Prince Andrew, and Bill Clinton.

President Donald Trump is featured first on a list of “prominent names” related to the Department of Justice’s investigation into infamous sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.

Among the roughly 3 million pages of Justice Department records released last week, which came out more than a month past the Dec. 19, 2025, deadline set by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, is an internal guide to the DOJ’s investigation into Epstein that includes a list of allegations against prominent figures, according to victims.

First on the list, which includes the likes of convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein and disgraced ex-prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, is Trump, who has two bullet points of comments made by victims of Epstein.

Mentioned also in the list of “prominent names” are Epstein’s lawyer Alan Dershowitz, former president Bill Clinton, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, former top JPMorgan banker Jes Staley, billionaire Victoria’s Secret founder Les Wexner, and billionaire hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin, who married Epstein’s ex-girlfriend Eva Andersson.

Dershowitz denied receiving a sexual massage, saying he kept his underpants on. Clinton has denied any wrongdoing. Lutnick’s claims about his relationship with Epstein are at odds with other emails in the Epstein files. Wexner has denied wrongdoing and claimed Epstein took advantage of him. Dubin stepped down from his hedge fund, denying it had any connection to his relationship with Epstein. Staley was found by British regulators to be untruthful when he claimed he did not have a close relationship with Epstein.

“(Redacted) stated Epstein introduced her to Trump, who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which is subsequently bite [sic],” the first entry under Trump’s name reads. “In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out.”

“(Redacted) remember Epstein introduced her to Trump saying ‘This is a good one, huh’ and Trump responded ‘Yes,’” reads the second.

The first entry sounds similar to an allegation of rape made against the president involving a 13-year-old girl that was included in a separate FBI file also released last week.

“(Redacted) reported an unidentified female friend who was forced to perform oral sex on President Trump approximately 35 years ago in NJ,” the allegation, included on a spreadsheet of uncorroborated tips to the FBI, reads.

The alleged victim told her friend that “she was approximately 13-14 years old when this occurred, and the friend allegedly bit President Trump while performing oral sex,” it continued. “The friend was allegedly hit in the face after she laughed about biting President Trump. The friend said she was also abused by Epstein.”

When reached for comment, the White House referred the Daily Beast to a DOJ press release published on Friday.

“This production may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents, or videos, as everything that was sent to the FBI by the public was included in the production that is responsive to the Act,” the statement reads. “Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election.

“To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”

HE’S HOWLING

Trump Threatens to Sue Wolff for Epstein ‘Conspiracy’

The DOJ did not immediately return a request for comment.

Trump, 79, has tried desperately to distance himself from Epstein and has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in relation to the convicted pedophile, who described himself as being Trump’s “closest friend.”

The day after the explosive tranche of documents was released, the president told reporters aboard Air Force One that Epstein had “conspired” with author and journalist Michael Wolff to hurt his political image.

“[Wolff] was conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to hurt me politically,” Trump said. “That came through loud and clear. So we’ll probably sue Wolff on that.”

It’s not the first time Wolff, co-host of the hit Daily Beast podcast Inside Trump’s Head, has been involved in lawsuits with the famously litigious Trump family.

“This is the third or fourth time the Trumps have threatened to sue me,” Wolff told the Daily Beast. “So far this has only resulted in me suing them. So, bring it on. Let’s sue each other. I have nothing to hide, but the Trumps surely do.”
